You'll almost certainly miss the start, there is more than one tune.
If you aren't getting a tune you aren't using it correctly: you need to be able to re-size the browser horziontally (i.e. wider/narrower) and keep going, as if playing the accordion. If works on my chrome window.
Unless the you are on about the fart-scroll, the noise is short or that, at least compared to one of mine.

Terrible. It only plays pre-recorded music.
What kind of accordion is this???

I suggest you take both these points with the owners of the site.
I was just impressed it works the way it does.

I think we should all just take clearly nonsense posts as nonsense, and let anyone who actually means such things, argue that platform themselves.

I'm going to sulk.
When I pressed the button a second time, no little black light lit up black to let me know I'd done it. And the button wasn't labelled in black on a black background.

That got me curious and I tried about:about. It listed most of the possibilities.

Have you tried "about:pirates"?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Is it me, or is that a total Jan Brady scenario?
Probably happened the same week she got her braces off (dental braces for Brits).

I get paid well to do my programming tasks (as an FTE)- But there is a lot of bad code in the project that I get to work on - so bad that it frustrates me and makes me almost write a resignation like - "I give up bcoz of your code"...
Few in the team acknowledge that its bad code, most dont. And those who agree consider it a "way of life" - And they are not even motivated to improve - or should I say they have "accepted that way of life". (These folks are the one working in that co since more than 5 yrs.)
And I tried - and got crucified more than once. Then, once, I wrote bad code intentionally - and got appreciated .. Then I did nothing and some "blah blah" - and got appreciated again ...wtf.... how do I deal with the team? (considering leaving as the last option)
What I mean by that "bad" code here - its 2001ish code created in 2010 with heavy htmls rendered and javascript generated everytime on server (in a php type language) with sql queries somwhere in between and merged with some backend classes that generate javascript arrays and javascript via string concats (and for some odd reason dislike json)... and many times missing caching. Customers have complained on performance - but hey "thats the network issue" - or "its that javascript library" :(

There's 'bad' and then there's 'you don't like it'. Be careful not to conflate the two. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with constructing markup (including page scripts) explicitly in server code; your ASP.net server page is doing exactly that, it's just hiding under five levels of abstraction where you don't see it unless you look really hard. Though in general large sections of script should be in .js files so web caches can deal with them ... but you can't do that if you've got page instance specific data in your script.
The only thing you said which is actually arguably bad instead of just in a style you don't like is mixing data access and rendering. If you come to your co-workers with a good argument for why a particular thing is bad, then you might have some traction.

The best way to improve a bad code is not to add to it.
If there is a large amount of work already in the project, it sounds like it is, then it is impractical to just restart from scratch. But what should be considered is a better way - not just the way you want but a better way agreed by all - and then implement all new stuff using the new technology. That way the old stuff can be degraded gracefully and you get a new puppy come annual review.

I tried that once, but the manager did not want to change, saying it was "the standard". It took years of education to get him to agree with me.
